Warning... this entry may be a big pile of ... fertilizer.

I started my Saturday out by helping Mom in the yard.  When I asked her what she wanted me to tackle, she said, "Fertilizing the roses and then the lawn would be great."  All righty.  No problem.  However, I'm beginning to think that she either thinks I'm full of fertilizer, therefore, am good at fertilizing or that is something I can't really mess up.  I *could* over-fertilize but there's not enough in a bag to do that much damage.  ;-)  It gave me a good laugh anyway and a good feeling to know that I fed the lawn and the roses.

Last week, I bought a sterling silver rosebush and I can hardly wait for it to bloom.  My other rose bushes that I planted last year are doing well and made it through the rough winter. 

Bleeding Hearts
Mini Yellow Iris, "Say Ahhh"   
Lily of the Valley  I've been snapping away at the newly bloomed flowers in the yard when I haven't been totally exhausted after coming home from work.  I have several photos to go through and upload to Flickr ... one of these days...  These flowers are proof of my *uh hum* fertilizing skills of a month ago. 

I'm growing really sick and tired (pun!) of being tired but hopefully the docs will sort it all out soon.  The results from the overnight oxygen test and I need to go in for a sleep study ASAP.  I had 100 oxygen desaturation events that lasted 2 minutes or less and 13 desaturation events that lasted over 3 minutes.  It accounts for some of my symptoms but not all.  My ANA tests didn't show much so I'll see what the endocrinologist says on the 28th about my thyroid, etc. 

My Rheumologist thinks I have Fibromyalgia and there's not a laboratory test to confirm that and I certainly have a lot of the symptoms.  When I read my oxygen study results, it had a brief medical history and it stated that I suffer from it so apparently someone else thinks I've got it too.  I wish they'd tell me ;-)  I seem to be the last to know...  

Dad and EliDad is stable and we're monitoring his blood pressure and keeping a close eye on him.  He's got such a good attitude and makes little jokes all the time.  He had a little visitor last week, his great-granddaughter, Eli and he had a lot of fun holding her. 

Other than being exhausted and working, I went to the Wasatch Camera Club Thursday night and found out that the June competition theme is "Say it With Flowers."  It will be a driving force to go through my photos and to get out and take more during the next three weeks. 

My sister Susie sent me this photo she took with her phone.  I texted her back and told her, "See why I love pickles?!" Then she replied, "I made it."  It dawned on me that it is ME that does stuff like this and that I'm slacking in my duties as of late.  Note to self: must allow my mind to visit the gutter more often, your sister is showing you up!  ;-)  We can't have that, can we?! 

I appreciate the emails and thoughts of concern this past week.  If I don't write, please don't be alarmed.  I'm so tired, it's hard to find the energy to be online much.  However, Heaven forbid, if anything happens and I can't write, Dawn and Vickie have access to my blog and can post for me. 

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and that everything is going well in your lives.
